DRAKE Bud Alabama Have you ever noticed a ver tall boy and a tiny goldenhaired girl ambling down the hall ? Well, we’ll wager that it was Howard Drake in the company of Edna.

IDA MAE DAVIS Ida Mae is the short young lady whom all seniors remember for her acrobatics ir the gym programs, in our freshman and sophomore years There doesn’t seem to be a depression when she comes to school in a new dress so often We appreciate her happy laugh and her willingness to help in whatever there is to be done. G. CHARLES CLOSE ' Closey” State Perhaps you have seen our little Hoy Scout who plays the harmonica so well and so often I f you have not, you have missed one of Lansdowne’s favorite shows. Moreover.

MARIE W. FASY As you all know, Marie is a member of the Commercial class and a hard-working Car-net and Gray typist. Whenever there is any extra work to he done, you are always sure that Marie will willingly and cheerfully do it. If you’ve never seen Marie dance, you surely are missing something. What about it. Harold? Garnet and Gray typist (4) : Writing paper committee (4). MILDRED VEROXICA GAXXOX Midge Drexel Here we have “Midge.” our own original ray of sunshine. “Midge” is a good natured, little soul and will laugh at anyone’s jokes, even if they’re on her. She is also noted for her speedy typing and that “I’m hungry” call which we always hear about the second period each morning. ROBERT JAMES FOWLER Bob florist Bob is one of the Three Musketeers of Morton who may lx- seen every day on Baltimore Pike optimistically pointing their thumbs toward places west. We sincerely believe you’ll have more luck in getting a lift through life than you usually have getting one to the old home town. ELOISE MARIE GARTON flo Mood “Elo” is that stately blonde senior who is looked upon with awe by the rest of her classmates—that is, until we happened to see her running down the ball, a minute before hr late bell, with “Kay.” “Elo” always wears bright dresses—especially the red ones—but may-lie there’s a reason.

Beyond a doubt, one of our most faithful students, he is one of the few who can be trusted to have work in promptly. LOUISE M. GEAUQUE Wceser As Weezer goes by in an other new dress, we understand why all the girls moan with envy and the boys “sit up and take notice.” Equally to be envied is her sparkling smile which is just as graciously given to the timid, shy freshman as to the lordly senior.
